The Avon Foundation has funded more than 800 community-based breast health programs across the United States since 1993, including BCCCP at the ACCESS Community Health & Research Center.

The Fund's National Advisory Board selected BCCCP at the ACCESS Community Health & Research Center as one of 123 new grant recipients nationwide in the 2005 cycle of Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund grants.

At the core of the FREE 2 BE campaign is a toll-free phone hotline, 1-88-88-FREE-2-BE, staffed by specially trained operators who will help callers get to the local BCCCP coordinating agency who can enroll them in the program.

A special FREE 2 BE packet was also mailed to more than 7,700 healthcare providers around the state to inform them about the BCCCP, to invite them to become providers for the BCCCP and to urge them to refer eligible women patients for free screening services.

And beginning January 1, 2002, Medi-Cal will cover the health care services of women who are diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer after undergoing screening at a BCEDP, BCCCP or Family PACT (Planning, Access, Care and Treatment) provider.
